This chapter focuses on Samuel Purchas's second edition of his collection of travel narratives that stood in contrast to Hakluyt's works. Purchas tended to rewrite the accounts that came into his possession, weaving them into a narrative that reflected his clerical bearing. His first edition, published only a year before, had sold so quickly that he feared a “second impression” would appear before he could add the new material he had gathered, particularly pertaining to Europe. Purchas, never immodest, also claimed that he had enriched the work by studying many authorities he had not used in the first edition. His efforts took a toll; the changes could not have been made “without my great cost and paines,” he claimed, “which might rather merit Elogies then Apologies.” .Less

This chapter examines how recent efforts to address the harms done to several Americans have taken shape as formal apologies and payments to surviving victims. This contemporary hand-wringing is an important acknowledgment that state-sponsored reproductive deprivation is among the most profound offenses a citizen can suffer. The chapter questions whether the harms from deprivation of assisted conception services are of equal impact to those wrought by unconsensual, unwanted, and procreative robbing surgeries. Whatever the comparison, each person deprived of an opportunity to parent by law, policy, or provider suffers gravely in ways that go beyond the first-line harm of forced childlessness. These harms befall patients, providers, children, and society in various ways, strengthening the case that disparities in access to ART warrant attention and reform.Less

This chapter examines the basic route of the reading of Chrysostom. It shows that the start of 2 Corinthians 1–9 is composed of a rhetorical technique framed to explain failed travel plans. It then discusses how Paul was able to adapt the basic conventions of the concept of travel apology and his juxtaposition of travel and death (i.e. death by suicide) as modern discourses of self-revelation. This chapter is also concerned with Paul attempting to fix his relationship with the Corinthian community and the social and emotional effects of his rhetoric.Less
